Le créateur de Terraria prouve une fois de plus qu'il est le plus grand fan de son propre jeu en se faisant tatouer sur son épaule un fan art inspiré de Zelda représentant une épée emblématique.

The creator of Terraria has shown off a couple of new tattoos inspired by his own game.

Andrew “Redigit” Spinks, the president of studio Re-Logic, took to Twitter to reveal two tattoos inspired by Terraria. On one shoulder, Spinks has both the iconic forest tree that appears in the game’s title screen and a version of the Terra Blade inspired by fan-art that incorporates the blade into a mock-up of the cover art for The Legend of Zelda 2: L'aventure du lien.

The artist who created the Zelda fan art replied to Spinks’ tattoo post and took credit for the art that inspired it. The artist goes by GreyL1me on Twitter and pixiv and confirmed that Spinks had previously reached out to make sure it was OK to use the blade design for his tattoo.

Spinks recently flexed about the enormous success of Terraria in the most 2024 way possible: by engaging in a jovial online feud with indie publisher Retour numérique, obviously inspired by the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar rap beef that dominated the conversation for a few weeks in May and June. Responding to Devolver Digital’s seemingly good-humored invitation for another game developer to “start beef with for social engagement,” Spinks ended the competition in one sentence, writing simply, “I’ve sold more copies of Terraria than all your games combined.” In the words of Lamar, be humble.

Plus récemment, Re-Logique “gave an update on just how massive the Terraria fanbase has grown” and revealed the survival juggernaut has outsold Super Mario Bros.
